[pearl tinsel]

I'm aware they're slightly different, but it's all using electromagnets to achieve the same thing. They just do it in different ways. You just wanted to be a prick

[cyan valley]

YESSSSS

[cyan valley]

We get it, you know there's a difference but you didn't realize the difference was more than you initially thought

[elder rapids]

maybe knock you back a couple feet

[cyan valley]

Hah!

YEAH

I've seen videos of some high velocity cannon stuff online, it's SUPER cool

[elder rapids]

oh dude watching garand thumb's tank video was just the BEST

[cyan valley]

I watched a video of a guy who literally shot a potato into space

[pearl tinsel]

Whatever bro

[cyan valley]

Obviously the potato burned up from the sheer speed/breaking through the atmosphere

But it was cool AF

[elder rapids]

that potato was reduced to atoms

not even a thanos joke either, that is literally what happened

[carmine zenith]

👀

[cyan valley]

Oh yeah

[elder rapids]

hi tater!

[cyan valley]

It was just incinerated when it was going through the atmosphere at such speed, but DAMN did it look cool

[elder rapids]

now imagine that but with a railgun going into a glyphid's mouth

just 👌

[cyan valley]

omg

😮

YEAH I want that in my DRG

[elder rapids]

look if they add a railgun into rogue core or DRG and it DOESN'T leave a hole in whatever's behind the enemies imma be real sad

[cyan valley]

Coilgun only goes so far

[elder rapids]

and i don't mean a coilgun sized hole

i mean a hole that is actively visible on the map

[cyan valley]

I feel like they've got the mechanics/tech to make that possible as we've seen with Coilgun

They just need to upscale it

[elder rapids]

yeeee

also add different effects to firing

[cyan valley]

You also see stuff like Bulks/etc digging through terrain to get to you

So I know it's possible mechanics-wise

[elder rapids]

@cyan valley did you see devastator get rekt in revenge of the fallen back in the day? if not i can show you a clip

[elder rapids]

the only issue would be if it's too big glyphids could spawn in the hole

[cyan valley]

I haven't seen it in a while but yeaaaaah

You don't want a MASSIVE bore hole, but something bigger

Maybe it could be a weapon you have to like, set up and prepare

Then fire off at some big ugly

[elder rapids]

like the fatboy?

[cyan valley]

And the recoil would send you flying back a bit like with Ommoran Heartstone

Fatboy is more of a mini nuke

[elder rapids]

but everything in that line between the gun and the wall is gonna be dead

[cyan valley]

Oh, yeaaaaaaah!

Basically lol

[elder rapids]

i mean moreso along the lines of you gotta set up a bit and make sure you don't send a fatboy directly into your teammate's spine

[cyan valley]

Oh yeah for sure

Don't wanna be hitting friendlies with it, at least not on purpose

[elder rapids]

unless you got some shithead driller who likes his C4 and bit too much

[cyan valley]

That's part of what I love about stuff like the C4 and Fatboy is that you gotta think a little bit before using it

[elder rapids]

or just be me and see a load of glyphids and go "yeet."

[cyan valley]

Hopefully they brought Friendly lol

When I see a big wave of bugs coming across the cavern, I want to just unload a Fatboy or some other big boom at them

[elder rapids]

i remember a modded lobby i was in the host filled a room with lootbugs and killed them all the lag was bad but the resources pooled into one spot and..... well i was driller and the intrusive thoughts won

the lag was so bad for a split second i went to the void

[brave moss]

i hope they bring back Quantrite in this.

could be a currency you use to unlock gear or something.

[median sleet]

expenite seems to be the only mineral

Can't wait for the 'Is mining expenite worth it?' videos

[lone cypress]

weird imo

a dev said no nitra either

no (gold or) upgrade minerals presumably too

[broken flame]

But it's basically DRG! How can that be?

[median sleet]

I think it makes sense

[lone cypress]

no it doesnt

from a geological point of view

[broken flame]

Aren't we going around areas where there was already established mining and then something went horribly wrong?

[lone cypress]

they can always exist as "fluff"

[median sleet]

There is a huge chunk of the planet hanging right next to it, does it need to make sense?

[median sleet]

Yes

[broken flame]

Makes sense it's mostly mined out then

[lone cypress]

no visible digging holes

*hmmm*

[median sleet]

I think there was no gold/ nitra in the first place

[broken flame]

Better add that to #rogue-core-suggestions

[lone cypress]

you can :P

[broken flame]

I might

I might not

[lone cypress]

:c

[median sleet]

The expenite ated all the nitra and gold

[broken flame]

Like Coral eating eachother

[median sleet]

Why is my name Randle now?

[lone cypress]

[median sleet]

Those guys too

[lone cypress]

always has been

[broken flame]

[median sleet]

Can't go a day without my name getting more corrupted

[marsh minnow]

Yeah, but I think that is just to get the dwarves back to the surface. Think of it like a checkpoint or a guard station, so they can ensure no rival companies get in

At the very least, that's my bet

[pearl tinsel]

They haven't said that. The lore mentions mining operations for expenite that went dark. And then we see permanent looking structures in screenshots, they're probably from abandoned mining sites.

[marsh minnow]

Fair

[sullen mica]

So will the game be on Xbox?

[median sleet]

If it does well on Steam, probably after it gets out of Early Access

[sullen mica]

Alright

[cyan valley]

Expenite, I like the name. Expenditure, Expensive, Expanding, Exponential

Use it (expend it) to get things you want

While you carry on with whatever the Roguecore management demands of you

Basically the 'Grey Knights' of DRG

I am hopeful that this new endeavor will be a good one!

[elder rapids]

experience

[fresh jetty]

I wonder if any enemies will be exclusive to rogue core

I imagine at least the bosses will be

[west warren]

probably yea

might add a new type of enemy with season 5 even that ends up being common in rogue core or smth

im sure RC gonna have plenty of its own stuff tho

[celest viper]

mother of all dreadnaught

[white bridge]

the queen

shame they only made queen hatchlings but never added them

and sometimes you hear a dwarf say "die like your mother did"

[limpid elbow]

Dont glyphids come from the brood nexuses tho?

Or am i getting that part wrong

[true cedar]

no the brood nexus isnt apart of the glyphid family

in the miners manual it states

"It's theorized that the Brood Nexus is a completely separate genus, somehow able to replicate the DNA of other species, and use their "designs" for its own protection"

[velvet marsh]

it replicates the glyphid dna because they are the dominant lifeform on Hoxxes

y'know, besides dorf.

[west warren]

so theoretically it could produce cave leeches if it wanted

[frigid path]

What about the most evil of creatures on Hoxxes? || Magma Core Maggots ||

[rocky dove]

I hate them

They just meander into the crosshairs of your pickaxe

[hollow wolf]

This makes me want a miniboss where a special nexus scans the dwarves and produces weird messed up copies of us to fight

[wet tulip]

Magmaggots

[cobalt atlas]

Re-watching the announcement for rouge core, they said multiple times that it's co-op focused, there's that mean I won't be able to solo it?

[tall plume]

DRG is co-op focused and you can still play solo. I don't doubt Rogue Core will also be playable in solo.

[cobalt atlas]

Ironically I play DRG with people more often then solo...

Just good to have an option when sever lists are dead.

Some reason my region doesn't get as many players as it should be.

Probably because when u want to play it everyone is asleep (or..
Dead)

[hollow wolf]

i wonder if they're going to have grenades/throwables

[tall plume]

I'd say it's possible, maybe in some form of picked up weapons/upgrades

[frosty ermine]

I have a question are the artifacts going to behave the same way as artifacts from Risk of Rain2 the game is clearly inspired by it and the artifacts may be difficult to balance so trying to make a deep rock Galactic version of it you might have a lot of trouble

[fierce solstice]

When did they confirm artifacts like the ones from ROR2 ?

Artifacts can mean a lot of things

[wise orchid]

as a ror2 addict, wut?

[tall plume]

they talk about something called artefact in the FAQ for the game, but there's absolutely no info as to what they are and how the function in the game.

[fierce solstice]

Bro reads artifact & roguelite, immediately thinks "inspired by ror2"

[tall plume]

And for what it's worth, RoR2 is cited as a source of inspiration for the devs (though it's not the only one, obviously)

[fierce solstice]

I mean anyone can guess their sources of inspiration

[tall plume]

But that doesn't mean artefacts will have the same purpose at all.

[fierce solstice]

ROR2, gunfire, dead cells, crab champions, hades, gungeon

In fact they should do a crab champions ripoff but we play as instead of 🦀

[hidden hornet]

Playing as an ankle biter and getting revenge on those ankle biters by biting their ankles?
Count me in

[cedar fable]

[past terrace]

[inland palm]

that wud be an amazing mod for that game

i hope the boss fights (if there are any) in this game are way better then in drg cus that’s one of the aspects of the game i enjoy the least

[iron knoll]

Hit big boy in X weakspot.

Oh, you missed and shot it 3 pixels to the left?

Ammo wasted

Hence why I usually swap to playing a lazy goo driller build

[atomic sequoia]

GTFO begs to differ

[past terrace]

Goo is for people who are better at advanced trigonometry than they are at aiming

And people who like warcrimes and think nothing else gets close enough

[acoustic shell]

I have been here since the beginning of DRG so hopefully I’m still able to test Rogue Cores alpha when it’s released.

[deep agate]

2021? 🤔

[acoustic shell]

2016

I think.

My memory ain’t that great. But I remember the old model of the GK2, minigun, flamethrower and warthog shotgun.

Mid 2018 or early 2019.

I do know it was before 2021.

But anyway, I have high hopes for Rogue Core since a DRG roguelite is a dream come true.

[strange umbra]

I’m looking forward to rogue core because I got GTFO vibes from it

[median sleet]

Axel playing rouge core as scout. Scout confirmed for rouge core???/j

[forest rain]

how is the difficulty going to be handled for rogue core? will there be something like risk of rain 2's eclipse? (that was a really good system in my opinion)

[pearl cedar]

Of course, he doesn't so much scout as make this operation possible. The game wouldn't be possible without him. Why do you think he is actually the only playable dwarf in DRG Survivor ? Because without him nothing is possible.

[sterile sigil]

roeg coer

[eager root]

rug car

[median sleet]

I can't believe the devs get to play rc early, so unfair

[forest rain]

I want more horror elements in it like the original vision, even going back to Dwarka

Need more Darkness, more Danger

And Dwarves.

[tall plume]

apparently they want to stick with a somewhat bit darker and serious tone

[forest rain]

Yippie

[tall plume]

it won't go full mature and horror, there will still be jokes around but the overall tone will be more serious

[carmine zenith]

Barrel armor when

[forest rain]

You'll be the ones to find out what happened to Barrel Armor

New ARG

[errant jacinth]

roguelite drg where your builds are more run dependent sounds fun

[quartz parrot]

It does

I'm very interested in how this is gonna work out

[forest rain]

[nocturne cove]

risk of rock 2 style?

[tall plume]

more like gunfire reborn looks like

but we'll see

[nocturne cove]

ohh damnnn

sounds awesome tbf

[modern sluice]

I hope they will have a physical concept art book!!!

[forest rain]

Agreed

[grand hornet]

Manifesting the core having Eldritch Horror glyphids

[forest rain]

Or just a special page on their website with all concept art

I hate scrounging the extremely low resolution anniversary streams

So many good designs

All to waste

:(

[slim grotto]

Yooooooooo

The upgrades might potentially be funky a bit like RoR2

Dev said one of the things they experimented with allowed him to have a build where he got Scout's grapple and then an upgrade that removed fall damage and created an explosion/shockwave when you land, scaling with how hard the fall is

If this is the sort of stuff you'll sometimes be able to do, I'm even more hyped for the game

[tall plume]

he also said to not necessarily expect those things to stay around

[slim grotto]

Yep that's why I said both "might" and "potentially"

Obviously a lot of stuff will change

[tall plume]

yeah

[slim grotto]

But if they'll be working even partially in RoR2 direction like that, I'm going to love it

[hollow wolf]

the new Below Decks is cool

[delicate kestrel]

can't believe they're releasing rogue core on the etch a sketch

truly ahead of its time

[gilded dove]

has technology gone too far

[forest rain]

enough playing Doom on random devices

time to play other games in Doom

[delicate kestrel]

it's also gonna be controlled with the donkey kong bongos

[forest rain]

port Rogue Core to DOOM

[delicate kestrel]

I mean

[supple thorn]

Playing rogue core on an ingame DOOM pc

[delicate kestrel]

you can play DOOM inside DOOM ETERNAL iirc

[forest rain]

[solid raft]

i wonder how diferent will be the cave generation, the screenshots we got right now make the rooms look smaller that usual

[peak fractal]

rogue core

this is huge

this is the roguest core of all time

[hollow wolf]

they mentioned that there will be many rooms from DRG that we recognize but that they're also making many new cave shapes since a lot of DRG's rooms don't fit in Rogue Core

[median sleet]

I think they will be smaller since a stage is supposed to take 5 minutes

[solid raft]

that makes sense
i suppose we will see less bugs but more "elites" and specials

so one whole pack of praetors and opressor per room, i suppose

[burnt flume]

the core be rogueing

[median sleet]

Also thanks for the crumbs with the weapon art DRG overlords 🙏

It's keeping my hype alive

[tall plume]

I think you'll see more bugs if anything

Wait so is rogue core basically drg mega season 5

Oh wait this sounds pretty pog

Me when the Devs put the lascannon in rogue core

[wary tiger]

gsg did say season 5 was gonna be a prelude to rogue core

[tall plume]

it's a new game

[proven solstice]

Is there a Rogue Core specific Discord server yet, like there is with Survivor, or is that TBD?

[wary tiger]

for now this is the rogue core server too

[stone whale]

Yooooo

[rocky dove]

might start once game goes into early access

[tall plume]

check the pinned messages

[tall plume]

it will be integrated in this discord

[stone whale]

I honestly am just here for the cross references between the two

Coop roguelite

Seems pretty pog

[winged moth]

Im kinda excited for the ways weapons may be different like in survivor. like if it's the same classes? Has it been confirmed to be the 4 classes

[hollow wolf]

They're not doing traditional classes

You're a reclaimer and can pick a starting weapon and starting abilities

So you can make an archetype if you like but there's no set class structure

[winged moth]

I see

Is there utility skills though? Or is that also a starting thing you can mix and mingle? Like if there is the lead mini gun can you use drills with it(if those are in it)? Or do we not know yet ?

[stone whale]

I'm more interested in if the team sent down would be the same dwarves in drg normal, just without an actual class system

Or 4 other dwarves drg hired that's not the og team

[winged moth]

I think it's 4 dwarves DRG hired that's not the of

Og

[stone whale]

I want shit like gunner complaining the guns theyve been issued are too small and ladylike

[winged moth]

Unless they like do some sick shit in season 5 to get notice

[nova swift]

Yeah it makes sense I believe the corporation will have a tonne more dwarfs.

[winged moth]

But then they'd need like an alternative canon for rogue core unless they change DRG dwarves and I think it'd be cool to here about stuff from the other game while playing rc or DRG like "did you hear some reclaimers found Karl's drop pod?" Or they talk shit about the higher paid people while working.

[hidden hornet]

My favorite part of the rogue core trailer is the part when the dwarf said "it's rogueing time" and rogued all over

[cedar kelp]

is it a ram the size of a rodent? or a rodent size of a ram?

Depends on the rodent. New York rodents? Massive

the one that is taking the reclamiers to the core

is the ramrod a ram the size of a rodent or a rodent the size of a ram?

what did I do to deserve this

[median sleet]

Being French

[tall plume]

that's racist

[median sleet]

France is a race?

[elder rapids]

regrettably

[celest viper]

for me delaying s5 hurt me.
hopefully both s5 and rogue core are worth the wait

[median sleet]

Well I live in Belgium so I am part French sadly

[elder rapids]

i think rouge core will be good

[median sleet]

I hope so too, it would hurt a lot if they're dissapointing

[elder rapids]

don't expect something feature complete like DRG with rouge core, they are open about the fact that it'll release in alpha

[tall plume]

Don't overhype yourself for S5, it won't be gigantic. They're taking time away to smooth up Rogue Core

[median sleet]

I know

[elder rapids]

also that

[median sleet]

If it has as much content as s4 but just better content I think it'll be fine

[celest viper]

tbh, I'm more excited on rogue core than s5

[tall plume]

I think you can bet on this much, at least

[elder rapids]

just temper expectations ye? alpha and all that

[desert laurel]

i just wish for no rockpox

[tall plume]

it won't be rockpox

[median sleet]

That'll be good. Maybe adding another powerup like the jetboots would be cool. But that goes in #drg-chat territory

[desert laurel]

but i have to wait almost a whole year fer no rockpox ;w;

[elder rapids]

but what if

rockpox in rogue core

[desert laurel]

oh shiet

im in rogue core not drg chat

[desert laurel]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[celest viper]

since they told us that s5 is going to be rogue core related, they kinda implied up that they'll put effort on rogue core more than s5 obviously

[pure jewel]

s5 is going to be a prolouge to rogue core

either way, i'm hyped for it

[celest viper]

same

[celest viper]

I wonder what devs meant about the core tho.
core like giant ommoran hartstone?

[elder rapids]

core of the planet

[celest viper]

yea, but will it look like it

[elder rapids]

the core finally went insane from our antics

[sleek swallow]

the heartstone's mom

it's sentient after all

who knows how many relatives its got

[elder rapids]

damn, they put your grandma in DRG?

[celest viper]

techinically

[elder rapids]

also rogue implies the core was originally OK with DRG mining the planet

[celest viper]

well, ommoran hartstone does that as well when we hit phase 2 and 4

if core is gone, so does Hoxxes 4?

is that "if I don't get it, I'll destroy it" situation?

[pearl tinsel]

Don't know. Unless it's an actual mission type they're adding it's up in the air

[outer ocean]

I want to be... But I'm on console which means I'll see s6 (and maybe 7) well before I can even touch rogue cos 🥲

Tis what it is

[fringe maple]

or might just not have noticed/waited until the operations got big enough

[shut tartan]

took a while to wake up is my guess

[bitter cloud]

Wild guess: In S5 we'll get new mission type, perhaps unlockable through some assignments (so no access for super new players), MC tells you something like "Management chose you for a highly secret operation. You're going deeper than ever to establish a base for further operations." Then soon after landing all comms cut and you have to just survive against some insane onslaught. The longer you survive, the bigger reward will get. What do you all think?

[past narwhal]

I actually hope they don't do frameworks in rogue core so they can focus on getting in more guns

[elder rapids]

you know what'd be neat?

since the reclaimers are military focused they should be able to buy MREs inbetween missions like the miners do with beer

[next crater]

I thought that said NFTs 😅

[elder rapids]

NO, GOD NO.

tho idk if i'd rather have beer or MREs in rogue core personally, mainly because getting shitfaced in DRG is fun and not having that would be kinda sad

Will there be unions in rogue core?

[velvet cedar]

looks at the dozens of hours I've spent in dead cells, hades, risk of rain 1/2, FTL and hundreds of hours more in DRG

uh-oh

This was made for me fr fr

[tall plume]

I fucking hope not 😂

[median sleet]

I will unionize and management can't stop me

[velvet cedar]

Solidarity forever

[median sleet]

Even if they make it impossible to join unions by making a broken union system

Now that I think about it: the union system being broken makes sense in the lore

[verbal tusk]

Theory that might fit rogue core into main DRG canon: The core is so far down that orbital scanners can't get a good read on it. As such, DRG cannot effectively perform salvage ops down there. If the dwarves die, that's it for all that equipment. So rather than risk full sets of kit, they just hand the reclaimers a pickaxe and call it good, they're too cheap to give them anything more.

[median sleet]

I think it's due to the barrier around the core preventing the dwarfs from taking in too much stuff

[wary gust]

There really isn't a need to headcanon how to fit RC into DRG, it was explained quite clearly on the stream

[verbal tusk]

And you could probably tie Survivor into the canon if it was some kind of training simulation. DRG got tired of filling out paperwork only for the greenbeard they just hired to take a permanent vacation to Hoxxes when they first ship out.

[tall plume]

also S5 will expand on it and lore will expand in RC as well

we'll get our share of lore

[median sleet]

Can't wait to discover that the error cubes are actually

[tall plume]

Survivor kinda ties itself in the canon easily, since it's very simple : Management is making some dwarves work in solo for extra hours. To add to their chance of survival, they're heavily armed.

[median sleet]

Actually they're sending him in alone because he's throwing grenades all over the place

wouldn't fit well in a team

[tall plume]

found the one abusing the cryo in the demo

[cedar kelp]

just love the sentence from mission control that says: you've proven that one dwarf is better than 4 if given enough guns

[red agate]

How do you become Rogue Core internal beta tester

They should add shreggs with mactera grabber in there

[cedar kelp]

I think once the beta is announced you go to the shop and hit the ask for access button or however was it called

it used to be on the survivor game

[median sleet]

I doubt you can rn. They'll announce it if they need any

[cedar kelp]

wait until q1 next year, my bet is march

[tall plume]

DRG:S is made by another dev team with different ways to handle their project. They also don't have nearly as of a community already at their doorstep 😄

[old lagoon]

has it been confirmed if Bosco is gonna be in Rogue Core?

probably not but im curious

[tall plume]

we don't know how the early testing will be handled for Rogue Core

[tall plume]

no

[cedar kelp]

yeah but I mean the way to access the beta will probably be similar wouldn't it?

[tall plume]

not really confirmed

[cedar kelp]

go to the steam page, hit the ask for beta access and wait for answer

[tall plume]

you can count on multiple beta phase and we can't tell for sure how it'll be handled

[median sleet]

He is visible in a screenshot but it might be a placeholder

[old lagoon]

alright
probably not but it would be cool if he was

[cedar kelp]

I just hope is not bosco

not that I don't like that floating computer, is just I want another new robot

[old lagoon]

we get a new robot turret buddy named Jim

that would be awesome

[cedar kelp]

if it's a turret it has to be called Turreta

[old lagoon]

that name is not meme worthy

[median sleet]

I hadn't even thought about turrets being in the game

Would be sick if we could upgrade them

[old lagoon]

that would be cool

a portable turret that you can throw down and control

[cedar kelp]

probably in the outposts to defend you while doing things

[old lagoon]

and then imagine a throwable where you can charge up items in its area
which would make the Turret useful

[median sleet]

Rocket upgrade for the turret

[old lagoon]

heck yeah

Brent knows what he talkin about fr fr

[median sleet]

What if you could attach a weapon you don't need anymore to your turret

Maybe a bit of a hard idea to implement

[old lagoon]

yeah

[cedar kelp]

in a programming setting is not that hard given what they have done already

in a balanced setting tho...

[median sleet]

It would use a ton of turret ammo I imagine

[old lagoon]

ooh, now that im thinking about it, what would missions be like in Rogue Core?

I mean, the main point is to Reclaim The Core and Mine Endomite or whatever its called

so there isnt many mission ideas to base it off of

[median sleet]

Expenite

[old lagoon]

yes

[cedar kelp]

I think it would be just one mission since you are not a miner, you are a reclaimer, you just need to reclaim the land

[old lagoon]

that thing

its also a Roguelite so it could effect the mission types or smthn

[unkempt lance]

we are mining endermites?

[cedar kelp]

the mission: get in, kill anything with more than the normal number of legs, retrieve anything that still hast the warranty in order and get out if possible

[median sleet]

Can't wait to see how crazy builds can get

Bigger carve area for the drills -> drill out the entire map

[old lagoon]

ridable vehicles like a motorcycle

or a Tank-

[tall plume]

not gonna lie, vehicles is very unlikely 😄

[crystal mantle]

Hi..

[cedar kelp]

heyo

[sleek swallow]

hello dot dot

[cedar kelp]

here have a drink

not leaf lover, I promise

[sleek swallow]

.. pounce, not 🎵 🎵

[sleek swallow]

proof

[cedar kelp]

drink it then you will find out

[tall plume]

🎺

[summer ferry]

Thank you devs for pursuing RC despite the community's mixed reactions 🥺

[grizzled beacon]

I for one welcome with open arms RC

[naive totem]

I think it looks cool but this game already gets updates slow enough as is

[atomic canyon]

rouge core will bury dead rock galactic and piss on its grave

devs have already confirmed that the opening scene of rouge core is the ramrod crushing the spacerig into dust and captain of the ramrod coming out of the bathroom

[sleek swallow]

rouge core will bury drg?
but I've never heard of rouge core being announced

I however heard about this new game they're making called rogue core

and they'll make it alongside updating drg

[mild oak]

My favorite game, rouge core

[sleek swallow]

we should just have a rouge counter

maybe eventually we'll rename rogue core to rouge core and it's official

[white bridge]

Yea it's a good thing for some content drought (i don't say this often), people will take a break from drg and their content hunger will lessen.

[shut venture]

Tried it a few times, and it's fun though I wish the pod had an extra 5-10s.

[fierce solstice]

xd

[old swift]

slow updates shouldn't be an issue if the maintenace patches address a wide variety of issues

by far the worst part about seasons has been stuff going untouched for months at a time until the next one, like how bots got nerfed and significantly reduced event chances after months of pain

[inland palm]

i think the lack of bug fixes is a far far more valid criticism of drg then the ppl who are just sad they won’t get content for a few months.

I’d much rather gsg take the time to make RC good (and hopefully touch up drg and season 4 in the meantime). But fingers crossed ig

[latent raptor]

I actually enjoy season 4 staying for longer imo if you take into account that rockpox will be tuned down after a while.

They could use that time to look at some more unique bugs that has been bugging people for some time and fix them.

[gloomy vapor]

i havent put much time into the s4 pass in a while, im glad ill be more likely to finish it

[iron knoll]

.... Oh.

What a way to piss on the grave indeed.

[inland palm]

Btw it suddenly makes so much sense that the devs said we wouldn’t get repeat seasons after season 2, but changed their minds for season 4.

Im guessing RC was initially supposed to be s4 until they realized it wudnt mesh with the rest of the game

[old swift]

then he says "the deep rock galactic really went: rogue core.."

[iron knoll]

Ur so funnie

[brittle ether]

Will rogue core have the weapon terminal like deep rock galactic?

[brittle ether]

wtf

[cedar kelp]

rogue core was going to be season 5, but they added so much stuff and so much things conflicted with the base game, it had to go rogue and be its own thing, I think is a pin comment in this chat box where they said it but I'm not sure

yup right here

[old swift]

it does now seem like it was meant to be season 4, though

depends on when development started i guess

[simple cloak]

pox rock is all I know :(

[west warren]

😿

[pure acorn]

what if karl could be found in this game

[cinder holly]

Legendary trophy: Karl's bootycheeks

[austere slate]

rogue core

[median sleet]

rouge core

[native imp]

Yo what

[white bridge]

i'm hoping we see some hints of karl deep down in those caves

[median sleet]

Oh wow 6 hour slowmode in #rogue-core-suggestions

Let's hope it helps the devs read through most of them

[old swift]

i would really like to see no ragdolls/shorter ragdoll duration, particle options implemented in rogue core and even the base game

not really sure why they aren't already tbh, ragdolls at minimum

they look nice, sure, but i'd rather the game ran nice than look pretty

[solar grove]

roger core

[atomic canyon]

really wish people would stop misspelling rouge core. should open a ticket

[median sleet]

If one more person misspells rouge coure they should implement a 6 hour slowmode in this channel

[spare smelt]

its rouge core

[raven wharf]

I’m down for that.

[icy vapor]

I'm just waiting for people to figure out that if there's an uncorrected instance of "rouge core" in their message history, the devs ban them from getting early alpha access....

[median sleet]

I'd rather die standing than live kneeling

[stark fiber]

what if karl is in rouge core

oh somebody already said that

nvm lol

[atomic canyon]

karl was actually the rouge core the whole time

[tall plume]

THAT'S RICH COMING FROM YOU ! 😠

[tall plume]

I've proposed that already

[icy vapor]

It pairs well with the 'if you ask, you're disqualified' rule when it comes to... the other thing.

[white bridge]

just say RC for safety

[median sleet]

Just say Rouge Coure for fun

[frigid path]

Asking to be a Dev?

[pure ravine]

rouge core makes me see red😠

🟥

[tall plume]

another one that won't make it to the test

[icy vapor]

Valid use of the joke; you're still in the running.

[pure ravine]

Inb4 it gets silently changed to rouge core because the core is actually red

[visual blaze]

This game looks cool

[tall plume]

you're too kind

[icy vapor]

Since I'm just making everything up, I can afford to be. You're the one with the fancy title... ;)

[frigid path]

Wait

people make stuff up on the internet?!?!

[grand acorn]

The game was so fun can't wait to play it online. Thank you gsg for the early playtest access 😄

[tall plume]

are you thinking of DRG : survivor ?

[grand acorn]

Nope

This is drg rogue core chat right?

[inland palm]

naw i think there’s a good chance they started it before. Especially after watching drg historian’s video

[tall plume]

yeah and there's no current playtest so i guess it's a joke I didn't get

[tall plume]

It was supposed to be s4* but had already grown past that point

[cedar kelp]

well it makes sense why the season 4 felt kind of rushed

[broken compass]

I still wish that the rock pox wasnt staying in the game until June

[cedar kelp]

its just a mild annoyance at this point in my opinion

[broken compass]

True, Im just not a big fan of it

[tall plume]

Don't worry, the devs are aware that it might be a nuisance more than anything to some players. They're looking into how they can help with that.

[pure ravine]

rockpox inoculations

[cedar kelp]

my suggestion is to finally let the rockpox asteroid get desintegrated at last, thing has been breaking down for months and is still going its larger than hoxxes itself

[broken compass]

Thats good to know

[cedar kelp]

maybe the core went rogue cause got infected by rockpox?

[median sleet]

#rogue-core-chat message

[tall plume]

[cedar kelp]

ghostwasher? but is a skull?

[tall plume]

Get skullwashed

[median sleet]

I want the ramrod to shoot a big laser at it

[cedar kelp]

I think the ramrod is just a transportation vehicle, not weaponized

[median sleet]

If it were a transportation ship it would have already crashed on hoxxes 4 with all the seasonal goodies

[cedar kelp]

well he don't know who the pilot of the ramrod is

maybe it's longbeard freight again

[gleaming musk]

will rogue core use new textures or will it "borrow" the original drg ones

[tall plume]

the latter

[gleaming musk]

like with old enemies and stuff

oh ok

[tall plume]

on the plus side, it will be like 3gb as well

😄

[gleaming musk]

now the most important question

how much

[tall plume]

no idea, I expect the same pricing as DRG during EA, so 15$, then slowly getting higher, up until 30$ on 1.0 launch.

[gleaming musk]

ok

thats a fair price

in my opinion

(im a sucker for fps rogulikes)

wait why does google consider the original drg a fps roguelike

also will rogue core give you like cosmetics for the original game?

as rewards or just cosmetics for rogue core

[tall plume]

no idea on that front

[gleaming musk]

ok

would be fun tho

but probably wouldnt make sense lorewise

[tall plume]

cross "content" is definitely possible but I don't think they're looking into it for now, they're focusing on gameplay stuff

[gleaming musk]

the only thing i dont like about it for now is the fact that season 5 got delayed

but i can live with that i guess

[tall plume]

understandable

[gleaming musk]

(atleast its not overwatch pve)

[cedar kelp]

that's not good, the game currently is 2.7

[tall plume]

but if it's what's needed for GSG, I personally don't mind. I understand there are constraints forcing them to do this.

[gleaming musk]

time to add 300 mb of nothing ig

[tall plume]

extra voicelines

boom, done

[gleaming musk]

that is actual content

[tall plume]

(lot of extra voiceline)

[gleaming musk]

so not possible

[cedar kelp]

more depictions of wet farts

[gleaming musk]

also will rogue core have rockpox

lol

suffering is funi

[tall plume]

no idea

[gleaming musk]

ok im gonna go be toxic to people in regular drg now lol

[cedar kelp]

I mean chances are, no? the core is probably the most exposed, wide open part of all hoxxes since a quarter of the planet is floating in the air

I would be surprised if the asteroid managed to avoid the biggest bullseye in that planet

[atomic quartz]

Please

[naive grove]

rockpox makes me want to rip my eyes out

[naive grove]

in pictures of hoxxes the floating part doesn’t look nearly as big as a quarter

[grand acorn]

I cant wait for drg rc's fourteen hundred consecutive rockpox seasons

Confirmed by devs

[burnt flume]

Yup, thankfully its not that

[white bridge]

Would like to see the armor the elite dwarfs are wearing in drg.

[shut tartan]

i think the pilot is among the dwarves who get sent on the missions because the teaser says "crew: 4"
which i just wanna point out is metal as hell

Crew: 4
Mission: Reclaim the core

4 little dwarven bad-asses are gonna reclaim the core of this planet

[forest rain]

I bet after the rouge core the game will go from 30$ to 40.

But like how does it make sense when reclaiming the core? isn't it like millions of degrees hot?

or am i missing out on something.

[gleaming musk]

we arent reclaiming the literall core

more like areas around it i think

[forest rain]

But still

How they not burning.

[gleaming musk]

were dvarves

thats why

[forest rain]

Damn bro.

Fact or cap.

[gleaming musk]

i mean theyre like born to live undeground so their heat resistance is probably a lot

[forest rain]

Dwarfs got rock and stone. Elf's got logs and leafs.

[forest rain]

True.

I mean their hands are like iron.

And skin.

[gleaming musk]

magma core is 400

dont know 400 what though

[forest rain]

Nah but for it to make sense they should have like a machine you can remote or enter so it doesn't look like your the main character.

You know what i mean.

[gleaming musk]

the player characters are a squad of 4 elite dvarves so the ship they are on eithier has autopilot or an npc piloting it

also that probably means we will get more poverful weapons than in normal drg

[forest rain]

Hm so this is gonna be like it's own thing like a deep dive?

[gleaming musk]

irs a diffrent game btw

so probably a diffrent branch of drg

[forest rain]

prob.

but if it's in 2024 i gonna get my season thingy up.

Because i haven't touched that at all.

[austere slate]

rogue core

[atomic canyon]

*rouge core

[uncut latch]

Whats the status of console (specifically ps5) releases

[fresh canyon]

Immediately excluded from alpha test

[fresh canyon]

Will console rogue core?

[tall plume]

we don't know for now

[uncut latch]

Okay , when can we ask devs

[hollow wolf]

they've been asked and said thinking about console ports is not on the table right now

the game barely exists

they'll look at that stuff later once the game is actually done

[lofty basin]

its gonna be first person right? not the birds eye view thing?

[tall plume]

it's gonna be like DRG

[sleek swallow]

where would you even get the idea of it being a top down game

like no where is it mentioned or in any of the screenshots does it look like it

[lofty basin]

screenshots?

[sleek swallow]

yeah

on the steam page of the game

[iron knoll]

Thats DRS

not DRRC

[sleek swallow]

look at the pinned messages

for the steam page

or just search for it

[iron knoll]

fp... fp... fp... fp.... and more first person ss's?

[median sleet]

The birds eye view thing is DRG:Survivor another game made by Funday

What if I refuse to shoot? Can I pay only 2/3ths of the price since I'll be playing an FP?

[hidden hornet]

I hope there are rc cars in this game >:(

[little ravine]

Lmao

[grand acorn]

First person

Drg pacifist run

[maiden carbon]

So have the reclaimers always been around since drgs founding or did they only come about due to the core going rouge?

[raven wharf]

They came about because GSG had a new idea for a game and needed marketing material to draw people in.

[hollow wolf]

rouge

[sleek swallow]

destroyed

[minor osprey]

Will there be any beta testing for rogue core?

[simple cloak]

Yes, read pins for more (road map included and can be found on steam)

[minor osprey]

Awesome

[manic sleet]

How will we be to play the closed alpha?

[median sleet]

They'll announce that when we actually get close to the release of the closed alpha

[hollow palm]

Don’t expect anything whatsoever within the next 6 months

[vague crystal]

will rogue core be a separate game or in drg like deep dives?

[hollow wolf]

separate game

details in pinned messages

[vague crystal]

damn, new game to buy in the future :(

[hollow palm]

It’ll come in a bundle. Meaning it’s a discount for drg players

[vague crystal]

oh

nice

[hollow palm]

Will also be cheaper in early access. They’re doing open development again

Won’t be a flat out 30 bucks off the bat like drg is attm

[vague crystal]

drg is 30 bucks???

guh

[hollow palm]

29.99 usd yes

[vague crystal]

damn

i bought it for like 5 dollars a while ago

[hollow palm]

scaled up with full release. Goes on a sale for a good amount often though

[vague crystal]

yeah

icic nice that it'll be in a bundle

[hollow palm]

Cheapest it’s ever been was like 10 usd idk

https://steamdb.info/app/548430/

Maybe that’s a GoG deal or something

[vague crystal]

well converting to my country's money + steam sale

[hollow palm]

Price difference/advantage gotcha

[vague crystal]

yea

[bold pivot]

Are we going to be playing the dwarven equivalent of navy seals in rogue core? The dev said elite team. Does that mean better equipment and access to weaponry and perks the grunts don't currently have in drg?

[white bridge]

yes

[manic sleet]

i like new game

[hollow palm]

They’re a scavenging team

My guess is they’re hired contractors or a special operations part of drg made specifically for reclaiming (hence the name reclaimer)

Basically a task force specifically dedicated to stuff like lost trit deposits

Drg dwarves are already navy seals. Assassination missions on rival tech and dreads, expeditions, refineries

The unique ship and reclaimer role has lots of PMC vibes

[bold pivot]

The showcase has me excited. I like that they're taking a darker turn in the new game. Hopefully we get darker missions too like body recovery/ disposal and covering up managements blunders. Having to do demolition on ex facilities would be cool.

[tall plume]

They're an elite task force, indeed

Miners, as skilled as they are, are still just miners.
Reclaimers is the elite, basically.

(that's not a headcannon btw, those are the devs' words)

[bold pivot]

the fact that reclaimers are only after expenite also makes them seem more like combatents than workers

[hollow palm]

Sick

Spetznaz/green beret dwarves

My question is the same though

They’re obviously a specialized task force(note that their goal is literally to do/fix the botched jobs people failed already)

But are they part of drg, or are they hired and legendary help

Scale brigade armor had some interesting lore on a legendary miner group that came to hoxxes cause it sounded fun

I’m thinking these guys a#re the same deal, or the PMCs of the drg universe

(Private military company) or private mining company in this case, lol

[tall plume]

part of DRG from what we know

[hollow palm]

Neat

[pearl tinsel]

Their ship is owned by drg, at the very least. It's got a number like the space rig. RV-09

[patent sluice]

Can't wait to build the most insane set of random perks and then still die to a leech

[tall plume]

Could we, like, not devolve the chat into various spelling or "rogue core" every single day ?

[sleek swallow]

it's like natural instinct for the server at this point, I don't understand or why it keeps happening

[tall plume]

I'm not joking though.

[sleek swallow]

that much is clear

well whatever happens to you is self inclined now

[idle bison]

this makes me hope that the dwarves have a unique look and/or voice acting to reflect this

but I doubt it lol

[tall plume]

that's the plan if we look at the roadmap

at least for the look

[idle bison]

siiick

looking forward to this

[median sleet]

Not a lot to talk about yet, but I understand

[viral ether]

Gone the way of diggy diggy hole for being funny for all of five minutes

[main hinge]

Rogue core looks interesting

[raven wharf]

You could just create a "shame" role for people who misspell it regularly.

One where you lose access to write privileges in this channel.

[tall plume]

I wish

Rogue core

[carmine zenith]

You know what, fuck you. un-rogue's your core

[tall plume]

😱

[carmine zenith]

It is now just core chat

[frigid path]

We work out our cores here?

[simple cloak]

Core day goes crazy

[fresh jetty]

that is the literal plot of the game now that I think about it

[cedar kelp]

screw you re-rogues your core

[celest viper]

re you screw-core your rogue

[cedar kelp]

you your screw-core re rogue

[median sleet]

Ask us to stop writing different variations of rouge core in the chat.

We will find something else to write different variations of

[visual blaze]

What is the correct spelling

[cedar kelp]

goure croe

[median sleet]

I wonder how crazy they'll go with the weapons

I saw some art in #fan-art the other day of a korlok sprout repurposed into a weapon. I wonder if it would fit in RC

#fan-art message
This one

[hollow wolf]

I hope they go really crazy. I want weird stuff

[oak obsidian]

they showed some stuff in the most recent blog

[hollow wolf]

not crazy enough. i need a lootbug that shoots minerals at people

[median sleet]

This might be a bit too crazy for me

The korlok gun would probably be as far as I'd go in crazyness

[sleek swallow]

no

[hollow wolf]

it doesn't fit the tone they're going for at all. jokes aside, i hope that things get even more out-there than the shield gun they teased in the recent blog post. not even just aesthetically but functionally

[vivid dock]

i hope they add leaf lovers (controversial)

[modest ginkgo]

How does someone get early access on rogue core?

[rocky dove]

They will release details on it later

[sleek swallow]

[frigid path]

Give a random stranger money, got it!

Thanks Loan Ranger

[hidden hornet]

Well

You don't entirely know about the devs so...
You technically do give money to strangers

[elder rapids]

i mean true, but they built up that trust with DRG

[sleek swallow]

trusted strangers

[elder rapids]

sounds like fallout new vegas reputation notifcation

you know what? if there's beer in rogue core the devs should 100% let us dual wield them, not for better effects or anything like that, just to get drunk faster or something

[short fjord]

As a dwarf myself, getting drunk faster is a huge benefit, however...
But then what's gonna happen when we drink 2 Blackout Stouts? Are we gonna passout twice in a row, or just once?
Also Wormhole too, teleporting twice sounds like a 1-way ticket to the shadow realm with scrapped and untested Hoxxes bugs there.

[elder rapids]

double tap 2 wormholes and get sent to the space rig

[short fjord]

Imagine it's the space rig, but something's missing

[west warren]

alcohol poisoning.

[short fjord]

Don't worry, we dwarves have like 99% alcohol tolerance

*Except Leaf Lover's, we got 0 tolerance for that

[latent olive]

rogue core is gonna be multiplayer right?

[errant jacinth]

silksong moment

[median sleet]

Axel is playing rogue core and leaving it visible on discord just to taunt us

[wary tiger]

maybe hes just testing the drc part

[round idol]

Just thought about that, can you devs make sure there is endgame content for the veteran players?

This to me is what critically lacks in DRG, most of the late game consists of just waiting for rng to be on your side and loot whatever you miss in the forge. there are no extensive goal you can work towards of make use of all the ressources you farm.

I had a few talks in game with other veterans that despite their love for the game and how great of a coop shooter this is, we all agree that past a certain time there is nothing left to do with all the resources, nothing left to unlock and not much else to do other than waiting for seasons.
Now that you guys know there are people out there that are willing to put 1500+ hours in your game, can you consider a spot for us?
Because yes, rare cosmetic items that requires a ton of resources just to flex and display the world your virtual wealth and how many hours you put in a game are always sought after and motivates player way past the games "functionnal" unlockable content.
Don't deny it, you want it, i want it, everyone wants it. Just look at games that have these kind of items (all the major MMO's, really)

TLDR: Please devs, if you start with a clean slate think about late and endgame for the people that will put 1000+ hours in your game.

[median sleet]

No, he's taunting us. He knows we wants it but can't gets it. Our precious

[elder rapids]

wonder what happens if we ask to join

[bitter cloud]

And this is cool. Not every game needs to be an endless grindfest. It's actually amazing that you have a possibility to unlock everything there is and be content with your achievements. And I'd say 1,5k+ hours to unlock everything is pretty significant number. That's how I see it anyway.

[round idol]

not saying there needs to be functionnal content that could be unlocked after a grindfest, but that there would be things to grind for if you want to go that far, and exclusively cosmetics.

again, there is technically no endgame content in DRG

[stuck hollow]

Imo if you put 1000+ hours into a 30 dollar game, and the vast majority of that playtime is in the endgame, it's odd to ask for... An endgame.

There literally is though. It's post-promotion. Deep dives. They are the endgame.

Or post-game if you prefer.

[round idol]

look, all i want i rare items that you can spend your millions, and thousands of minerals on. is it too much asked for a handful of prestige cosmetics that are there if you want to grind the game?

instead of hearding it, and not doing anything with it.

[sharp salmon]

Last time I checked DRG isn't an MMO though?

[round idol]

i'm not asking for gameplay features that unlock after you had 1K hours in the game, or OP modifyers, just some plain ol stupid expensive cosmetic stuff that you can get if you are willing to put that amount in.
having no endgame content didn't stop me, there are modded difficulty servers, and other things worth you time.
i'm just talking about throwing my money at someting

[round idol]

i was taking this as an example

as in: there are other game that offer that kind of opportunities, and people ar willing to grind for it

[sharp salmon]

Imo grinding endlessly for "flashy items" can easily give players fomo and majority of players don't have time for it. It's what put me off from Warframe after 1000 hours.

But I get your point.

[hollow wolf]

i mean i don't really see any point in this personally. that doesn't sound satisfying to work for at all

[long elbow]

Can't wait for rogue core :D

[hollow wolf]

the game already has enough stuff that takes too much time for no real reason (see the bloated overclock cosmetic core pool)

[pure ravine]

Surely the cargo crates and lost packs are already grindy enough for them to suffice as endgame content

[round idol]

look, i'm just sad i have nothing left to "hunt" in DRG. i still play, i still have fun, as i said modded servers are here when you want to make you own "endgame gameplay" (yes gameplay) but i just lust for flashy and rare stuff. and i can assure you all i am absolutely not alone in there.

[nimble basalt]

Ngl, the pics on the steam store with the left arm look very DOOM 2016

[round idol]

then again, I don't see how big of a deal it is for regular players that aren't interested in a few millions-credits-thousands-minerals-price-tag items if its just "there" for veterans to throw their money at?
with all the cosmetics added each season, like 4 or 5 flashy ones that costs extra isnt that much of a hustle, is it?

that's pretty much all i'm asking for DRG, and if that can be in the base game when rogue core shows up that's cool. and i'm going to enjoy it R.C. no matter what, not like its mandatory or somehting. but it would just appreciated if you get some stuff to use all the leftover ressources accumulated over playtime.

I don't get how asking for a handful of expensive items is that much of a deal for apparently a lot of people...

even like 2 or 3. hats that costs 1M or 2M credits and 10K of every mineral.

[pure ravine]

Because new players would want those cosmetics.

Making them only for extremely veteran players is honestly absurd when the majority of DRG players don't break the 200 hour mark.

[sleek swallow]

but why do you want to grind 1000+ hours worth of gameplay just for a single hat of 3

I have 830 hours right now and I only just hit 3 million credits (I use daily deals a lot lot more often than the average person) and I also spend a lot of it on promotions already, besides missing like 3 minerals 15k minerals (5k on each 3)

legendary 3 promotions are your end game grind

they cost a fuckton

I won't even be keeping my 3 million creds I just got because of my next few promotions and I am not even legendary 3

just hit platinum 2 on all classes

[round idol]

should we talk about streamer only comsetics then? because i can't have none of that, neither can you. neither can anyone that isn't DRG twich partner. i'm not starting a streaming channel just to get this, yet it exists and everyone (me included) is okay wit this.

[tall plume]

dev time sunk into something most players won't experience isn't exactly the best idea

[round idol]

i mean the streamer items are pretty cool, i'd loot the suit and the had if i could.
Sea of thieves has a lot of real hard things to get too. people go for it.

[sleek swallow]

I've heard a lot of negative sentiment towards that side on sea of thieves

so Idk

[round idol]

and here i'm not even advertizing unobtainable cosmetics, just a million or two and lotsa minerals

[pure ravine]

People go for item rarity in loot crates in other games as well. Doesn’t mean it’s suitable for DRG or Rogue Core.

[round idol]

and paid cosmetics aren't a problem aswell, so why in game expensive items should be?

[sleek swallow]

and we already have that with promotions no?

[sleek swallow]

becuase those are just a bonus for supporting the devs

you buy them to support the devs

they've been giving us free updates for this long, if you want to show them your thanks you buy the dlcs and get cosmetics in return as a thank you back for supporting

that's their purpose

[round idol]

yes sure thing, but if we are taking the idea of having cosmetics that are unobtainable (streamer items) or paid cosmetics (and i am absolutely aware and compliant in the idea that it supports the devs, i played along and have bought them all, even the ones i find ugly because i do want to support the devs for all the great work) so ok with everyone; why are in game expensive items such a problem for everyone?
i just brought the idea of having a handful of these like 2 or 3. grinding to get my 3 red stars for every class was a thing, why not spending my millions on a comsetic isn't?

[sleek swallow]

because we already have that but with promotions

that's your end game grind

[hollow wolf]

I'd just rather everyone have more convenient access to it than it cost 3 million credits or something. I don't think resources need to have a use or a sink once you're done with that part of the game.

[pure ravine]

Because you're asking people to grind 10k hours for a cosmetic that is of the same quality of the rest of them.

[sleek swallow]

it costs 1.2 million credits and just credits alone just to get 1 dwarf to legendary 3

and the repeated promotions don't get any lower in cost

[round idol]

so why is that problematic, when you can grind to legendary 3 and as @sleek swallow said, get to pay millions per dwarf to get there?

how is that any differend than grinding for stars?

[sleek swallow]

because it just indicates how much time you've put with a little border around your character

[pure ravine]

You are truly an idiot if you can't tell the difference

[sleek swallow]

that's what the promotions are for

cosmetics aren't to show how much time you put

[pure ravine]

This conversation isn't going to get anywhere is it

[round idol]

ah we're getting to that point of the discussion

[sleek swallow]

they're just supposed to look cool

promotions just indicate how much time you've put

and it serves it perfectly and fairly

cosmetics don't need that level of grind

it would be entirely unnecessary

to put (as you suggested 2-3) only a single one behind 1000+ hours of work to just get one of them

[round idol]

and here i just disagree and don't see why not. and apparently that makes me an idiot.

[sleek swallow]

like great now the 0.01% of the playerbase is satisfied because they got 2-3 overly expensive and grindy cosmetics

[sleek swallow]

I didn't call you an idiot so don't argue it against me

my arguments have nothing to do with you personally or your own intelligence, I just think your idea is bad and I disagree with it

[round idol]

i'm just giving that up for debate and find it tiereing that the only argument i get put against is "because some people will be sad they can't get it unless they grind"
its no less applicalbe to legendary levels.
the argument you put up was a good opportunity to bump @Riz up with its classic "if you disagree with me you are stupid" thing, that's all.

but you do put up a good conversation

your point do make sense, i just disagree with it.

[buoyant hedge]

Why is there a chat for this game when it hasn’t come out yet?

[hollow wolf]

Promotion costs are pretty stupid anyways

[sleek swallow]

to talk about the game and what may come of it or what could be in it

that's why

[hollow wolf]

Because the devs wanted one

[round idol]

in order to ask stuff to devs about it, and this channel will have updates on the game

[buoyant hedge]

Ah ok

[round idol]

it is true...

past gold it gets real spicy

[sleek swallow]

because every one of those things serves a different purpose, like I said where promotions are just indicative of your time played and serve perfectly as that purpose with a lot of grind behind them that gives you nothing (besides overclocks after last last season's change), cosmetics themselves serve making you look cool as you see fit

and not even any streamers use the streamer outfit and it's also still obtainable if you do the minimal amount of video uploading if you read #welcome-and-rules's small requirements to get the cc role

there is literally no point at all to gate a single cosmetic behind having to play 1500 hours worth of gameplay

just to "satisfy" the 0.01% of players

[round idol]

hence me not really seeing a problem with equally expensive cosmetics as prestige levels.
because that's also a grind that has absolutely no purpose except display you level of engagement in the game. and it too gets stupid expensive for no particular reason. so i don't see how a real expensive hat (even a stupid looking one) is any different than this.
OR and hear me out on that one,
stuff at a reasonable price but, only obtainable at said prestige levels. up until legendary 3
(or the equivalent for Rogue Core)

[sleek swallow]

you can literally just set yourself the goal of getting 3 million credits and 10k minerals each if you want

[round idol]

so that everyone get it

or given along the "presitge" levels past gold.

no millions of creds requiered

just get your level

pay the fee, sorted

[sleek swallow]

ok but would you be happy if the 3 million credits hat was literally just a generic looking hat with nothing special about it

[round idol]

honestly... yeah

like the fishing hat in Valheim. its a plain ol hat, nohting special about it, but you have to get all the fish form every biome, craft every bait, with exotic and sometimes rare resources that are a pain in the butt to farm, it takes a lot of time and effort to get, but its just for the prestige of having it. nothing less nothing more

[sleek swallow]

then give yourself that satisfaction with your mineral counts or promotion, set yourself an arbitrary goal

it gives you the same bragging rights

and there is nothing special about either

you can just skip the whole "I bought the 3 million credits hat" with "I have 3 million credits"

and hell

get more than that

you can just say "I have 10 million credits" and ignore the 3 million hat all together

far more impressive than the hat

so I don't see the point

promotions already serve what you want in a way, keep spending and grinding on them and you can have the bragging rights of telling people that you're +50 legendary 3 on X class

has more awe than a 3 million pointless generic and non special cosmetic

something something materialism

[round idol]

it has no more purpose than promotions that's the whole point

[sleek swallow]

if you disagree still, I really don't see much point to keep talking about this

[round idol]

aigh, fair enough

[sleek swallow]

besides. I do see your point yes, there is absolutely no difference

except that one has development time put into it to MAYBE satisfy the 0.01% with something arbitrary and serves no purpose

[small bough]

as much as I agree that grinding isn't always fun, I can see why people do it

what other versions are there? Locking stuff behind challenges

remember how well that's been received by other recent live service games

though grinding isn't my preferred way of play, I enjoy DRG and I have over 300 hours. I'll say that's easily a good amount of grinding and as a result I've unlocked every single weapon overclock. I miss games where it just took maybe 10-20 hours to complete everything

but I know DRG and Rogue Core aren't gonna do that, especially for the genre they're in

[tall plume]

pinned messages

[fresh jetty]

every time someone neglects to check pinned messages, a lootbug dies

also the devs delay season 5 by another hour

so we should be getting it in around 40-60 years

[tall plume]

Quick everyone ! Stop reading the pins !!!

[calm yoke]

I can't quite put a pin on it...

[wary tiger]

hey, thats not very nice

[cedar kelp]

so is this a season 5 or another game? I don't really know can someone tell me?

[cedar kelp]

inhales IS IT ROGUE OR ROUGE

[raven wharf]

It's a test of how good your education is.

[wary tiger]

the adjective, not the color

[frigid path]

My education consisted of how to turn the safety off

Didn’t stick around long enough to learn how to put it back on tho

[burnt flume]

Rouge is a color?

Never heard of it

[tall plume]

it's red in french

[burnt flume]

Oh

[cedar kelp]

wait people assume I speak fr*nch when I write rouge? (it took me 3 tries to write it wrong)

[median sleet]

oui

[tall plume]

I personally just assume someone is uncultured when they write it rouge

[cedar kelp]

I prefer that better than someone asking me for a bagette
